Cool correction...How to you correct for the purple fringing? I have some pics I would like to remove it from.

(don't tell me to search for it!)

This is the quick and dirty method, as you can see there's still some purple fringing and I didn't really take care of the red chromatic aberration since I liked the effect it had.

Anyhow, use a masked hue/saturation adjustment layer. Select magenta and use the eye dropper to center the right hue and desaturate as much as you feel necessary; in this case, I also reduced the lightness a bit.

Now use the mask to select only the areas that you want desaturated, so that you don't lose the legitimate purple hues in the image. I usually use a fairly small brush with ~50% opacity and ~75% flow, but this is highly variable to the image. Experiment with brushes to see what works best.

As for the rest, if you're interested, I adjusted the curves a bit so that that image would be slightly more punchy (especially given that all the extreme highlights were blown anyway.

I also fixed the weird reflection near the moon.

Finally, a quick USM makes the image look just a touch sharper.

:thumbsdown: for saying NYC in your profile.

Edit: ElFenix is right, got my directions crossed.

Maybe he works there.

I work on Wall street. I'm guessing the o/p is one of those "im so much better because i live in new york" tools... apparently it's a big new york thing to infer their superiority based on what side of the river you're on :roll:

OP your host is slow....I'm only pulling 9.3kbps

 

[thespeakerbox]

i cant see the city from my house , but i do have a good view of the people in the nyc sports club

 

[SampSon]

I prefer the non-crowded, non-light polluted view from my cabin. City scapes are cool though.

 

[BuckNaked]

What a fantastic view!

I had a similar view where I used to live and work... its a smaller river (Lee Vining Creek actually...), and not quite as many buildings on the skyline...

I'd love to visit that city, let alone live there...

Thanks for sharing the pic.

well we can trade ... im trying to find a place downtown by sept 30th. My lease here ends and I'm fed up with PATH after hours/weekends. The commute turns into 45-50 mins when there's no direct trains

I didn't mean to sound haughty, but as a NYer it is in my blood to hate NJ. The sight of a yellow license plate simultaneously angers me and makes me fear for my life.
It is a nice shot though (especially the correction)
